For those who are following low carb or keto way of eating a bread substitute called a “chaffle” - cheese and egg waffle is sweeping through social media. I have made them and used them for a keto version of a McGriddle.…

Hi Ladies, My happy place at my favorite time of day. Cathy in Arlington, TX

I went to my hair appointment today and afterward lunch at In n Out Burger. I get a burger protein style which means no bun but wrapped in lettuce instead. Then I went to Costco because it is in the same part of town. I live in yoga pants when home and I was happy to see Costco had their Kirkland brand available today.…

@BonnieHosk85 Since you are on your laptop but have no problem on your phone, your laptop may not be connected to the internet. The app doesn’t have access to search for foods. You may briefly see a bar at the top saying something about local. Cathy in Arlington, TX

According to research, there are quite a bit of different benefits from following a ketogenic diet, including helping with: • Epilepsy • Type 1 and 2 diabetes • High blood pressure • Alzheimer’s disease • Parkinson’s disease • Chronic inflammation • High blood sugar • Obesity • Heart disease • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome •…

Just finished my walk. At 84 degrees I should have worn short sleeves vs long. As I was walking I thought of a few more points to add about the keto diet. The 20 carb limit is strict keto and for those that want to address other health issues. You can gain the benefits of being of being in ketosis such as no cravings or…

@suebdew I have followed the keto diet for the most part for over 2 years. There are countless versions of keto. I have purchased several keto cookbooks, but the only recipes I have used over and over are from the 3 books by Kristie Honeycutt Sullivan, Phd. Her 2nd book “Keto Living Day by Day” is a good guide to getting…

Another beautiful day here. 70 degrees, no coat required. Walk and weight training done. Dinner is Creamy Parmesan Lemon Chicken with Artichokes from the freezer. Tomorrow I plan on making the Ranch Chicken soup again and chicken salad. Cathy in Arlington, TX

Machka - I am sorry for the loss of your grandmother. Janet - Your granddaughter is beautiful. Kylie - So glad Audrey is improving. Carol - Fat has 9 calories per gram while protein and carbs have 4 calories per gram, so eating the same number the same grams in protein as in fat when stated as a percentage results in more…

The hosts of the series, Montel Williams and Naomi Whittel are scheduled to appear on the Dr. Oz show tomorrow. They will probably promote the series. Those embarking on the keto diet should…

I had a quiet Christmas and New Years. I spent Christmas at my Mom’s. I brought my Mom home with me after Christmas for a visit. She had extended visits with her great grand kids and enjoyed them. My brother met me halfway yesterday to take my Mom home. It was not ideal weather for travel in DFW with rain and cold. The…

Hello ladies, I have been spending a lot of time with my mom in East Texas. She turned 90 in October. We had a great Thanksgiving. Her internet is very slow, so other than making sure to log in to MFP to maintain the streak, I haven’t posted. The week after Thanksgiving I took my mom to Jefferson, TX for a candlelight tour…

After a few days at home, I am now at my Mom’s dog sitting my brother’s 2 dogs. They are each 60 lbs and I walk them separately. They can be a handful, have not been fully trained and like to jump on people. They were dumped at Mom’s and my brother had adopted them. He named them Bonnie & Clyde. Cathy, Arlington, Tx

The trip to Wray and Estes Park was great. My Mom enjoyed visiting with cousins from California that attended for the first time. Family members in Wray got a new horse for their daughter. She was excited to help me ride Candy. I was happy to see they had a tall mounting block. We celebrated my Mom’s 90th birthday a little…

I found a painted rock outside the cabin in Estes Park, CO. The rock was painted in Austin, TX. Cathy, Arlington, TX

My Mom has been making a dollhouse for my granddaughter. She will be bring it with her tomorrow. I can’t wait to see it in person.

Angel just after her bath. She is going with us on the trip. The yellow kitchen was much better than the fluorescent orange of the breakfast nook. I had to have it painted shortly after I moved in. I prefer blues, green, teals and turquoise over red, yellow and orange. Cathy, Arlington, TX

Hello I am organizing for a family trip to Colorado. My oldest brother and Mom are coming to my house on Friday. We leave Saturday morning for Wray, CO to visit 2 of my Mom’s brothers and their families. Next Tuesday we will all head to Estes Park for a 4 day family reunion. Another uncle and family come from Montana and…

Thanks so much for the nice comments on my progress pictures. Dana, a good book for someone new to a ketogenic diet is “Keto Living Day by Day” by Kristie H. Sullivan, PhD. A good documentary is “The Magic Pill”. Kelly, would love to see you again in October. Here is my sassy and bossy 2 1/2 yo granddaughter. When we play…

I wrote this response on Wednesday but was unable to post it because my router shorted out. Shortly following that I realized my house was feeling too warm. The air conditioner was replaced last year. I hated the thought of dealing with the man that installed it. He made me very uncomfortable asking all sorts of personal…

Barbara, I only had the Toyota Celica for 3 years. The company I started working for during college offered a car as an incentive to remain with them after graduation. I sold the car for about $600-800 less than paid for it after 3 years. Lanette, The episode on fasting was eye opening. Autophagy was a new term for me. I…

I learned to drive at 19 from my parents driving to and from jr college in the car I bought with funds saved from working 70+ hours a week as a lifeguard for $1.25 per hour. I had no desire to drive in high school. Luckily friends had cars and would give me rides. The driving test may have been the last time I paralleled…

Lanette, I copied the link for episode 3, but it shows the episode as expired. The bonus interview was still available. https://www.therealskinnyonfat.com/episodes/3-expired.html. It will automatically redirect, but using the back function will give you access to at least the bonus interview. Margaret, fiber has not…

I continue to be fascinated by the information contained in the web series “The Real Skinny on Fat”. I am watching it on my IPad after I go to bed. Actually, I have been going to bed earlier in order to watch the episodes. Dr. Steven Gundry’s interview was very good. It is at 1:10:00 in episode 4. For one thing he…

This link may still work. https://www.therealskinnyonfat.com/episodes/episode-1.html

Lanette, Here is the summary of the first episode of “The Skinny on Fat”. The Big Fat Lie We’re going to begin with the sordid history of the low fat diet as Dr. Cate Shanahan traces the obesity and health crisis down to its root: Ancel Keys, a physiologist whose misleading statements set off the low-fat lie and set the…

Kelly - give Joaquin a big hug from me. He is a doll. One of the things I love about retirement is having the time to cook. I never really cooked before since it is just me. I stopped at an East Texas farm stand for tomatoes on my way home from visiting my mom over the 4th. A large basket of delicious home grown tomatoes…

I am attaching a picture of a Dutch Baby pancake that I made yesterday for breakfasts this week. I have it with fresh blueberries. The recipe is included in the recently released cookbook pictured.
